Vestibular Migraine, POTS, and the Road to Recovery with Laura Ehlers
About this episode
Laura Ehlers shares her journey through chronic dizziness and the complexities of her diagnoses.
In this episode of Talk Dizzy To Me, vestibular physical therapists Dr. Abbie Ross, PT, NCS and Dr. Danielle Tolman sit down with Laura Ehlers to share a powerful, real-life story of chronic dizziness, plus the long road to obtaining answers in a healthcare system that often defaults to “it’s BPPV” or “it’s anxiety.” Laura walks us through how her symptoms evolved after being hit in the head and what her life looks like living with dizziness. She also shares the layered diagnoses that often show up together in complex dizziness cases—vestibular migraine, PPPD (Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness), dysautonomia/POTS (Postural Tachycardia Syndrome), and hypermobility/EDS (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome), as well as the strategies that have helped her rebuild capacity. You’ll hear practical advice on: - How to advocate for yourself when you’re not being believed - Why the right healthcare provider can be a game-changer - Medication realities: from sensitivities to finding what works Guest: Laura Ehlers Instagram: @laurasnaturallife Hosted by: 🎤 Dr. Abbie Ross, PT, NCS 🎤 Dr. Danielle Tolman, PT For episode recommendations or requests, email us at…
